White Mugging Victim Claims He Deserved To Be Attacked Because Of His ‘Privilege’

The concept of ‘white privilege’ has become an increasingly prominent rallying point among young adults in America over the past several years. Touting the notion that whites in America benefit from engrained racism and racial inequality, the idea is even being taught in the nation’s public school system.

For that reason, it is perhaps no surprise that a white student at Georgetown University actually blames himself – specifically his skin tone – for the fact that he and his roommate were recently mugged by violent criminals. Oliver Friedfeld recounted the incident in an editorial for the school newspaper.

“Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as ‘thugs?’” he wondered. “It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem.”

He even went so far as to suggest that ostensibly oppressive Americans like him “should get comfortable with sporadic muggings and break-ins” until the “millennial generation” takes over “to right some of the wrongs of the past.”
